At first, they'd suspected the GC, but it turned out to be contention resulting from heap allocation. In Pascal, they'd heavily used variable-length arrays. For those, the length is determined at run time, but it's fixed. Since they can't grow, they're put on the stack. This makes them quite fast and avoids the global lock of the heap.

Maybe I didn't understand the approach. like let's assume several editions already in place (and we are in 2030) and the project has several dependencies: - main code (works with latest version. Latest edition) - depmain.1 (work only with edition 2022) - depmain.2 (work only with edition 2023) |- dep2.1 (work with editions 2023-2027) |- dep2.2 (work only with edition 2029) So instead of force users to explicitly specify editions in dub.jsons - DLF propose to use just "dub build" (without any changes in code of dependency packages and main project) and somehow each edition should be identified for each package? Whether that's the right approach is certainly debatable (and personally, I'd rather see something in dub take care of it rather than require that new code slap editions stuff everywhere), but there is a good reason for the approach that they're currently looking at taking. - Jonathan M Davis I think when Grim was ranting about breaking changes and how hard for him fixing it - he meant fixing real code, and I would be quite surprise if for him it will be hard to add into his dub.json/sdl 1 line: "edition" : ["D2022"]
